Panama Semester High School Program – Fall Departure
A semester in Panama will provide a great opportunity to improve your Spanish while attending high school and living with a host family.
With one of the highest literacy rates in the region (97%), you will likely receive a high quality education while studying in Panama. Classes are typically lecture-based, where study groups then congregate after school to analyze the material. School offers a great opportunity to meet friends and participate in sports, music, arts and club activities.
During your Semester in Panama, your local chapter may organize several activities, including a two-day trip to the San Blas Islands along the Caribbean coast, and a trip to see the Panama Canal. Also, over the course of your program, AFS staff and volunteers will organize a few AFS orientations to evaluate your experience and help with your cultural adjustment.
